Bug description:  IPv6: gethostbyname() fails on resolving IPv6 hostnames

Description:
------------
perhaps related to #12678.

gethostbyname() gives the IPv6 hostname back instead if the IPv6 ip. In
IPv4 everything works fine.

Note: IPs and hostnames in the following snipplets are replaced with
example entries. It was tested with working IPs both in IPv4 and IPv6.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$client_ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$client_hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]);
$client_hostname2ip =
gethostbyname(gethostbyaddr($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]));

echo $client_ip."->".$client_hostname."->".$client_hostname2ip;

Expected result:
----------------
In IPv4:
10.11.12.13->server.domain.de->10.11.12.13 

In IPv6:
3ffe:1::1->server.ipv6.domain.de->3ffe:1::1

Actual result:
--------------
In IPv4 (working fine): 10.11.12.13->server.domain.de->10.11.12.13 

In IPv6 (last output broken):
3ffe:1::1->server.ipv6.domain.de->server.ipv6.domain.de
